Family › Re: Lady Stirs Controversy As She Says Marriage Benefits Men More by SixSeven: 4:44pm On Dec 15, 2025
Marriage benefits whohuh Men are dispensable and disposable.

The marriage institution was necessary to protect society. What we have today is the result of letting women go freely and do as they want or wish. Left to women, they could go on having children for 6-7 men without thinking about the consequences. Women do not like men who keep to structure because it checks their 'freedom'. Women are the source of life on earth so men figured that the society needs to protect this privilege if the owners don't know the importance of what they carry in their wombs.

Please don't open the Pandora box. I discovered this early when series started around 2005/6. I realized that I was hooked to watching my favorite and ever since then, I said never again. The highest series I've watched that has not wasted too much of my time is Mr Bean's Man vs Bee. I think that was an average of 13 mins per episode. The Game of Thrones and other series, I refuse to watch them. Though some series are very good but it has to be worth my time.

Parents today think that giving their kids gadgets from an early age will make them smart but thank God there's AI now. We can now see that the old process of reading, writing and the traditional methods can never fail you. If I have any advice to a parent, it is to prevent their child from using smartphone and technology till they are 13. Parents today need to learn how to teach their children CONTROL. The dopamine is like hard drugs, we can't just see it. We are raising adults who will not be able to think critically anymore. You can see it here on Nairaland. Some people think it's cruise, it is not. A forum is a place to exchange ideas and thoughts. You can see those who read to understand and those who read to reply. They are rage baiting and want all the attention because the tech companies are controlling them, dangling tiger, dragon and other monetary benefits to them to CONTROL THEM.

The old parents back then controlled our TV. I miss those TVs in a box. Now, the smart TV is listening to you and curating what it wants to give you. Kids of that time are now parents today but they think they are going to parent differently by making the kids smart early through coding, gaming etc. Life is not a race, it is a journey. Give those kids the fundamentals of life before it hurts them in the future. A good example of why tech doesn't make you smart is the TikToker, I've forgotten his name. Pull out that channel and you'll see that there's nothing to offer anymore. But people are dangerously lured to the financial reward that they can't think long term.

I have all those things but responsibilities of life make me spend less time on those things. Although, now we have our phones but the truth is that I cannot spend more than 1hr max on TV. TV too, when you grow older is to program you and your mind. The mind of the free reads. You have more control than the programming of other people who do not have your best interest at heart controlling you. wink

Because I don't think governors in the opposition don't get federal allocations.

Can someone please enlighten me on y almost all the governors make that statement as a justification for their defection to the ruling party?
It's easy for a Nigerian to blame his enemy for his irresponsibility than to admit it. That's why religious people want the enemy to die. Most times, it's not the enemy, it's the enemy within, greed, laziness, and lack of ambition.

Indeed

The Enemy within. It is a misnomer for the President or Governor to be the number one party man just because he won an election. The government can not last more than 8 years max but the party that produced him will be there forever. We are used to jagabandits kind of politics where we want one person to be the almighty, so there is no institutional mechanism to check his excesses. Trump is not more stronger than his Republican party. Zuma was taken out by his ANC as president. Nigerians are used to this king of politics syndrome, that's why the minsormer is normal to you.

Let the parties have institutions that are stronger than their flag bearers and office bearers.

Nairaland, abeg help me judge this matter because I no wan deceive myself.
There’s this female friend of mine in school. We read together, buy snacks for each other, gist, and I usually walk her home after night class. Cool friendship, nothing serious… or so I thought.
But recently, she has been acting somehow:
One day she told me she feels blessed to have me and even called me her role model.
Anytime we finish reading late, she insists I must walk her home.
One night, she pointed at a bus stop and said she once saw a couple kissing there. Then she faced me and dropped this line: “It’s you that don’t want to love.”
If I ghost her small, na she go enter my DM first like, “You no wan talk to me again?”
And one day she directly asked me: “Why are you running from me?”
Make una no forget — I liked her initially but didn't want to push it yet , I don’t know if she’s catching feelings
So nairalanders, make una talk true:
This girl like me abi she just dey whine me?

Romance › Re: Does This Girl Actually Like Me Or Am I Overthinking? by SixSeven: 12:25am On Dec 13, 2025
The idea that unless a woman verbally admits she is interested, any man who approaches her is no different from a rapist or abuser is simply not true. Humans have never relied only on verbal communication to show interest. Attraction has always involved body language, eye contact, flirtation, tone, shared energy and mutual signals. People rarely open a romantic interaction by saying “I am interested in you,” and acting as if this is the only safe or moral way to communicate ignores how human relationships actually work.

Approaching someone, greeting them, asking them out or trying to get to know them is not assault. Those are normal social behaviors. Rape and abuse involve force, coercion, intimidation, ignoring clear refusal or exploiting power imbalances. These things are completely different from ordinary romantic interaction.

Consent needs to be clear, but it does not have to be verbal every single time. It can be verbal or non verbal as long as the willingness is obvious and the person feels free and safe to say no. The important thing is clarity, not compulsory spoken declarations.

Equating normal human behavior with rape is harmful. It dilutes the seriousness of rape, misrepresents the reality of sexual violence and unfairly paints ordinary social interaction as predatory. We absolutely should condemn coercion and force, but stretching the definition of abuse so far that it includes everyday communication helps no one.

In short, the claim is extreme because human communication is complex, consent is not limited to verbal statements alone and normal romantic behavior is not the same as violence or violation. Boundaries matter, but pretending every human interaction requires a formal verbal announcement is unrealistic and distorts what genuine consent truly is.

Let me help you with the little advice! If any woman— irrespective of where she comes from or is going to on this planet— you are interested in DOES NOT with her mouth admit to being interested in you, take it that you would be no different from a rapist and an abuser if you took it on yourself in that situation to help yourself to her body and time without her consent. undecided

And yes, there are a lot of Nigerian men who think that forcing themselves on women, either through coercion or force, is some sort of birthright of theirs because of that extra piece of meat hanging between their legs. I can tell you without mincing words that such men are simply rapists and abusers allowed to roam free in Nigeria because of the lack of oversight in that country. undecided
Oga Madam, he is right. Communication is not universal and implied statement and action exist in law. Stop with the unnecessary overboard of law and rape as if that's what every man and woman wants to do. Na person like you go say make dem write agreement anytime they want to make love as husband and wife. Your theory is not reality please. You even sound like a teenager with this confirmation process you are writing here. As if we are not adults. You write like a child but I know why.

Family › Re: Married Men In The House, Did You Cohabit Before Getting Married? by SixSeven: 8:22pm On Dec 12, 2025
zagorakis:
Well, my point is not whether or not people have sex during cohabitation but to make you understand other benefits therein.
I rest my case.
Thank you for stating your side.

My dear,
You speak of cohabitation as though it were a candle bright enough to expose every corner of a person’s character, the cleanliness, the resourcefulness, the small rituals of daily life. These things are important, yes. But let me remind you of something our elders have known long before modern arrangements arrived with their funny arguments.

A woman does not need to move into a man’s house to know his worth, and a man does not need to test a woman’s homeliness before honouring her with a bride price.
Our people established marriage rites viz:
1. introduction,
2. engagement and
3. blessings, not for decoration, but for protection. We have a process to checkmate all those things you said and it exists in different cultures in Nigeria and Africa and that's why families marry not the partners. It's oyinbo that brought the idea of the man finding his missing rib himself and the girl looking for her Prince in the shining armour herself without proper guidance. They fed us with individualism not communalism.
It is the process, not the proximity, that reveals the soul of a person.


And as for this idea that two adults in love can cohabit without sex grin Oga, let us not pretend. Even the yam and the knife know each other’s purpose. When a man and a woman who share affection begin to share a roof, the body will speak its own language no matter how disciplined the tongue is. The rhythm will do its raggae and all the blues will be covered under the bedsheets of the night. Thank God for Big Brother. Didn't they pretend that they could not have sex for 90 days when they first started ithuh Even married men and women were having affairs.

This is exactly why our traditions set boundaries.
It was not to punish desire, but to give it honour. It was not to suppress intimacy, but to house it within commitment.

Those “benefits” of cohabitation you listed are performances people display know they are being watched. They give you a new job with probationary period and you tell me you won't be the best for that 6 months?
Even masquerades adjust their steps when they dance before the council of elders.

Cohabitation does not unmask; it merely teaches people to rehearse.
Everyone behaves better during a trial period, but marriage is not theatre. Marriage is rooted, witnessed, supported, and blessed. That is why its consummation is announced and honor is brought to the man and the woman to be together in secret and in public. . We have welcomed them to society, as a new member of the family unit that makes up society.
It is the place where true character emerges, because the commitments have been spoken and the community stands as witness.



Cohabitation may mimic marriage, but it carries none of its protections. It offers intimacy without covenant, expectation without security, sacrifice without name.

Our mothers taught us with steady voices:
Do not carry the duties of a wife where you have no altar of protection. I am sure you have seen other commenters write the same thing. It's old age wisdom.

So my dear, let us be honest in the old, wise way. It is not cohabitation that reveals truth,
it is marriage that tests, refines, and anchors love. And where love sleeps under a lawful and protected roof whether you choose traditional marriage or court marriage. I rest my case sir. ⚖️
Celebrities › Re: Research By Harvard Highlight Income Loss And Structural Challenges For Afrobeat by SixSeven: 6:35pm On Dec 12, 2025
alfredilly:
What we popularly call Afrobeats today didn't start as Afrobeat. In fact, it has little element of Afro identity. They were all musical piece inspired by the ambition to identify with global music culture. Before their emergence, African musicians showcases various brand that is rooted in indigenous culture and tradition. There was Juju, Apala and many more in Yoruba land. A more nationwide song was highlife but that cut across west Africa.

Afrobeats as it's now called was inspired by modern singers who aspire for global appeal by imitating hip hop and other western style singers. American music was the biggest drive and several foreign song were adapt by local musican like Olu Maintain ( e g I catch cold). The Eddy Remedies comprising of Idris Abdulkareem, Toni Tetuila and Eddy incorporated raps with indigenous language modelled in foreign style. There were also the plantation boys of Tu face, face and black face.

The advent of social media popularize the music among global audience who struggled to find specific identity for it. Then came the coinage Afrobeats.

Before then, only Fela Kuti could be credited with anything called Afrobeat when he transformed his highlights by infusing it with Jazz. What we currently called Afrobeat is cheer opportunism. Nothing more.
I think what the Kutis are trying to let us know is to preserve OUR ORIGINALITY. Fela himself was in the US until his girlfriend there advised him about his music. They don't want these exploiters who will talk down at you to tell your own story. We should have our own respect and let us be equals at the table but money is easy to dangle to a man who does not know his history or has no ethics or legacy.

TIME will tell. The oyinbo man will group all our music into afrobeats the way they call Africa, a continent of diverse cultures and rich people a country. They know what they are doing. They want to tell the story the way they want it to be told. They want to tell the story as they told us one man came to discover River Niger and Benue. Our people too are mentally colonized so they are not proud of who they are and what they are.

I wrote some time ago about AI and music. That see what is happening with the capitalists. They would replace the musicians very soon by stealing their originality and using their machines to reproduce their works. Theft!!! It is only what humans can do originally that will survive. Any artiste that relies on technology is doomed for failure. Africa has rich original tunes, but they don't want to tell the story. They want to keep portraying us as only good for music and entertainment in front of their people and that they were the ones who sponsored us. That's why they still keep our work in their museums because they know the value of ORIGINALITY. God bless Mama Afrika
